Cathy Rigby Takes Flight at the Fabulous Fox in Peter Pan

Veteran stage actress and former Olympic gymnast Cathy Rigby will soar among the Fox's famous twinkling ceiling stars and drifting clouds in the title role that's defined her career and earned her a Tony nomination for the show's Broadway run. Take off with Peter Pan and the three Darling children as they fly away from their nursery to the magic and wonder of Neverland, where they encounter the cunning and evil Captain Hook, villainous pirates, a crafty crocodile and a sprightly fairy named Tinker Bell. Audiences of all ages will enjoy the adventure-filled and whimsical ride, not to mention the score that includes such classics as "I Gotta Crow," "Neverland" and "I'm Flying."

Quotes & Highlights

Read the great reviews the show received from Goldstar members in Southern California.
“To see [Rigby’s] fearless and ebullient flying, newly choreographed by Paul Rubin with even more athletic flips, is to suspect that the role actually functions as a youth elixir … [Brent Barrett as Captain Hook] is extremely charming, but children will be too busy cheering for Peter to mourn his fate. Afterward they’ll scramble to gather the fallen pixie dust from the carpet. Adults should consider grabbing a handful for themselves. Maybe it won’t confer eternal youth, but it can’t hurt.” —Los Angeles Times
“Rigby has mastered the singing, dancing and aerial shenanigans, but has also gotten to the core of the boy who wouldn’t grow up.” —Washington Post
